To Naix, Trim, Gslavik, and anyone else who really feels its just too much money. I don't post much to this forum and I don't have much time to read this forum, though I am an LBS guild officer.
You know, the real beauty of the entire guild is:
You don't have to join if you don't want to. You don't have to pay anything if you don't want to. Why even waste your time complaining about it? I think we get the idea that you think its too much money. Its like complaining about the price of a Ferrari. Just don't buy it!

ive gotten runs from beacons to war camp most of the time they scam you or dont make it and just leave and if you go up to a runner and say"hey would you meet me in war camp so you can run me to copperhammer? they would say no. Thats the whole point dont spend hours looking for a runner that will just end up half-assing it at the end when you know you have great runners that will make it on there 1st try(in masterbeefs case 100th). in the time it spends you to find a runner you can be farming back the gold that you spent on a lbs guy/gal
oh and i got to go to sleep so if you want to continue arguing with me im on around 3:00 tommorrow c ya there

naix · Nov 28, 2005, 02:59 AM // 02:59

Fine fine im done ranting. Just pointing out the obvious.

Edit: kinda like complaining about a ferrari eh? Buying a Ferrari is gaining something. Your gaining a cool looking car. While buying this "knowledge" is kinda like spending a ton on a crappy used car. I just doesnt make much sense.

Now that im done ranting, i gotta get back to my "pre-searing dye farmer school". You'll learn all the greatest pre-searing dye farming locations! Requirments include: 20 ecto and 100 rolls of vellum!! apply today! No this is not a ploy to get the rest of my fow armor!!!

hi im kinda knew to posting here but ive been using this forum ofr a while only registered a while back ive got to say this whole thing is obsurd, the reason im posting in this thread is because ive been having problems with thirsty river and i was looking for a fighting build and i sorta stumbled here

also i have personal experiance with an lbs runner id just like to bring two things into question

firstly i dont see how you can claim to uphold a garenteed runner policy when you operat with henchmeni cant see how this is a valid way to charge ppl for runs, its something free that everyone can use provided by gw and i dont see how you can ask ppl for money when clearly you need help doing it. i sort of feel sad for ppl paying 15 ecto if this is what lbs teaches you all

secondly i was actually going to purchase a run in thirsty river from an lbs runner a day or so ago im kind of surprised that you guys are linked to gwg forums i thought this site was meant to offer free information for those interested in expanding thier knowledge of gw not charge them, but thats besides the point before i got into the lbs runers group in question he had already picked up a client so i asked the client to tell me if how he does, just being cautious since he was charging quite a bit, anyway about a 10 min later the client wispers me that he died twice from some ranger groups and took his money before the last boss, now i dont know if this is true but he the client wasnt happy i dont recall the exact name of the runner but it was dark something

EDIT: after reading this post i went through the introduction and this really sounds like a pyramid scheme to me for ppl trying to get ecto armour, i actually ran into a lbs runner right after reading this post and made some inquiries about lbs he told me that the guild leader is no longer active and that he was actually looking for a new guild to do runs with

yea im really starting to doubt the quality of runners this academy is producing, looks to me like it for the wealthy players who are obviously not earned the tuition from thier talent but i dont want say it to be rude but lets call it alteriar means

Yup why else would he/she want shards as well as ecto.

eol · Nov 28, 2005, 03:33 AM // 03:33

why is this allowed to be posted on gwg forums if this is clearly not something that is meant to be offered for help but for profit i can understand a trade section but this school really doesnt feel like it belongs here wonder why the mods allow it is my question

seriously though about your dye farming school if lbs can get away with this why not start a similar school for other things seems like a good way to scam.. err i mean earn ecto

i can teach ppl how to make max perfect items for 60k or less by visiting collectors of course i will not disclose the location of these dessert collectors ..ooops but anyway if you pay me 14 ecto i can link you to a site with research on the locations of these collectors and what they require that i have not made myself for 14 ecto learn how to geat perfect weapons cheap from teh dessert ..oops gotta stop saying dessert

gslavik · Nov 28, 2005, 03:37 AM // 03:37

well, I am back ... just got ran through thirsty by this guild [Nude] and even though they waited for 2 extra customers, once they got them, we were off!

they pwned the baddies like nobody's business and I even capped the monk boss ^^ ... Word of Healing FOR THE WIN!

edit: even got bonus

I'm sick and tired of you ranting about Ferrari's!

Unlike most I think this school is a great service. It is not a scam for LBS to gain ecto quickly (look at her shield, she can get FoW armour no sweat). If this was actualy a waste of money i think we would see people who paid their 15 ecto tell us of their wasted resources.

Feel free to start whatever kind of Academy you want. The thing is, if what you are offering is crap, it won't last. On the other hand, if you come up with a good concept, and create a service based around said concept, you too can be rich.

eol · Nov 28, 2005, 03:59 AM // 03:59

about the disastified graduates if after paying 15 ecto i would be imbaressed to post cuz clearly i would be a dumbass, what about the lbs runner who told me he was quiting lbs isnt that saying somethign about this academy

and to capitalist: i was being half serious i really can make max perfect weapons for under 60k req 9

please use this link for collector info

http://members.skill-club.com/TriX/G...rpeaks_map.htm

and for perfect weapons also visit the weapons guy next to the droknars forge armour crafter

now please pay me 14 ecto oops i guess i should have told you to pay up front first * slaps head* but i guess then i would just be a scammer since this isnt my site and i havent put any effort at all into making that

fyi, LBS has 4 full sets of FoW armor.

Oh and toast i pwned grosse 4 times straight in rps today.

eol · Nov 28, 2005, 04:03 AM // 04:03

im bad with counting, thats how many "students" that suck how come theres only like 8 graduates then listed here, cuz it seems theres alot more of these "non-graduates" gslavik mentioned cuz i doubt 8 guys payed for 420 ecto thats like slave labour which if i recall gw hade an article about launching an investigation into operations of that sort

masterbeef · Nov 28, 2005, 04:06 AM // 04:06

Look dude, u obviously just registered here like 2 days ago and like half your posts are in this thread, so i'm either thinking second account or maybe you're just a dooshbag liek toast. We never did anything to you (like ripped you off because LBS doesnt rip ppl off) so why u gotta bash us for what we're offering? And making perfect blue weapons is easy, except they're ugly and well, ugly.

And why don't people use henchmens more often when they're far better than some PUGS? I mean, I don't see any downside in why we can't use henchmens for completing the mission. Wasn't that the purpose people asked for - The mission completed?

Pleased, to see some positive comments for once

masterbeef · Nov 28, 2005, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Not to mention it is very possibe to take along 5 customers on thirsty runs.

eol · Nov 28, 2005, 04:10 AM // 04:10

master lets me and you fight sword vs sword my blue ugly piece vs your imperfect crystaline that you payed throug the nose for which is ugly well ugly anyway

and like i said ive been a long time "visitor" never felt the need to post until i ran into this mess i dont need to troll another forum god knows especially with elitest dimwits like you

eol · Nov 28, 2005, 04:15 AM // 04:15

i said it "sounds" like salve labour i didnt say it was, just poking fun at the obvious aprent level of flunkies and drop outs your school seems to have if said armours where earned purly from this operation

Mindcrime · Nov 28, 2005, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Time to quote some comments again: To calm the storm

*LBSRA has something of a corner on the high-end of the running market

*The Academy is "ran" (haha) smoothly and intelligently

*They have gobs of experience

*They charge more than the average bear
--
So if:

*You're an independant runner
-or-
*Part of a small-time running business
-and YOU have-
*Plenty o' experience with running
--
Instead of complaining about the LBSRA, you could do the following:

* Take up cricket
* Rebuild a classic automobile
* Purchase multiple shares in a burgeoning company
*Get together with all the OTHER independent runners/small-time
running businesses/etc. and form a large Academy much like that
of the LBSRA...
--
If you choose the last option (tempting as automobile mechanisms may be), you'd want to be sure to:

*Acquire some of the already "heavy-hitting" competition to the LBSRA and include them in your plans for market domination

*Charge lower rates (since you consider those of the LBSRA so unreasonable)

*Advertise like crazy (hire an agent maybe? I'll check my schedule)

*Get a really cool cape (hire a designer maybe? I'll check my schedule)
--
In reality, you'll probably never get the thing off the ground. Several people have already half-tried, but either failed or didn't fare quite as well as hoped. But when it comes down to it, what does it matter? How much is too much money to have on this game?

For those who read this long rant, take comfort in reminding yourself that:
I'm fairly ignorant
I've contributed nothing relevant to this thread (nor the line of discussion within)
I don't own a housecat
But most importantly, I'm posting this at 4:21-sh A.M. and therefore have every right to believe that what I've said is clever.

Heh "rebuild a classic automobile" that does sound tempting!

eol · Nov 28, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

thats funny but monsty untrue so far the last several pages are filled with complaints and i think its really negative for you guys but as i was saying from the begining which you have doged repeatedly to answer and clearly shows how much of a waste of time your service is

is that you have "non graduates" representing themselves as garentated runers and the amount of profit lbs has made clearly shows that a high majority of inductites fail to learn anything from your service and that anyone who uses this service is either a dumbass or has alot of money to waste
its even more clear that the only ones to make any profit and i quote "100k a hour" -lbs is clearly a shame of a statement and tuition is only waste of an investment

so i ask again why are you allowing you untrained inducties to make profit in something that you guys are clearly incapable of performing if your operation" is run smoothyl and intelligently where is the monitering clealry a guy dying 6 times on a drok run isnt ready and a guy dying twice on thirsty isnt ready.. seems like the only ones making out here are yourselves and since your leader is has her school "built up" with a top down aproach seems like shes cares little for teaching actual skills to ppl.. which just goes to show with my earlier ocnversation with a lbs graduate seeking employment elsewhere
